New NW swell is performing a little under the prediction at Pauwela (surfline calls for 3ft 15s instead of the recorded 2). Might just be a bit late, as the numbers at the outer buoys are better and the Sunset Beach cam shows inconsistent double overhead sets on the cam (see below). Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half with possible bigger sets in the second half of the day.

 Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
